Hi Mandi and a warm welcome for you!
I’m Claudia and here on this app for many years now. Sober for many years as well because of this app and what I’ve learned from it.
In my family there is alcolism too. I decided to brake that circle, so far so good 
What helped me a lot in the beginning of my recovery was making a kind of plan. Giving it hands and feets so to speak. I put it on a piece of paper and gave myself a sort of a deadline as well. I will share it if you are interesting:
2 years sober and what helped me to get there: It’s a sort of sober toolbox for me. Every recovery is a bit different from eachother but has simularities as well.
For example: keeping yourself busy works for everyone!
This thread is also worth reading:What's YOUR plan? and if you need titles of recovery books ore podcasts ore even online meetings you find them here:Resources for our recovery
So again welcome and wander around a bit here on this forum. There are so many interesting threads to read.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
